The Dubious Yawnur Awards Nominations

Since we're in the middle of the Awards Season, I thought I'd create an award for the Fugliest designs ever seen on all three seasons of Project Runway.

Introducing the 1st Annual Dubious Yawnur Awards.

To help compile this list of nominees, I'm going to need a little help from you.

Just to be fair to the designers, I am going to create two separate categories. I don't think you should compare making a dress out of recycled mylar with traditional fabric. That's why for the first week's nomination, we will only nominate outfits made out of non-traditional materials. Or what I would call the "Not in the Mood" category. This includes: Season 1's Innovation/Grocery Store Challenge, Season 1's Design a Collection/Modernistic Vintage Clothing Challenge, Season 2's Clothes Off Your Back Challenge, Season 2's Flower Power/Garden Party Challenge, Season 3's Innovation/Wall-to-Wall Challenge, and finally, Season 3's Waste Not/Recycling Challenge.

The nominations will be open until next Wednesday (2/21) at Noon Eastern. At that time, we will begin nominations for the "In the Mood" category. This category will cover all of the other challenges where the designers had control over the choice of fabrics that they either bought from Mood or were given to them by Banana Republic or Macy's.

Later that Wednesday afternoon, the voting for the first category, "Not in the Mood", will begin. The voting will continue until the following Wednesday (2/28) at Noon Eastern. That's also when the nominations for the second category, "In the Mood", will close. And we'll start to vote on that category.

I just visited your site and had to compose myself before writing to thank you. I laughed so hard I thought I would * well, I laughed hard. You are BRILLIANT! ... you're a master with Photoshop! And you're a great satirist!-- Tim Gunn

Although you may have seen these same sentiments posted by me as comments on blog sites, I wanted to directly express the enjoyment I received from your work over the past Project Runway season. When following most of the coverage began to wear thin and keeping up almost became a chore, I always found myself waiting eagerly for your next imaginative and creative posting ... Your BIGGEST fan,-- Peter Shelton (Mr. Laura Bennett)

We stumbled upon this crack-us-up-funny website called Project Yawnur. Yes, it's evidence of someone with way too much time on their hands, but it's well worth the journey. We at Bravotv.com love ourselves a good runway parody -- no matter the amount of photoshopping.-- The Dish on Bravo TV.com
